Dining Around the Desert: The Vine Wine Bar in Palm Desert

The Vine Wine Bar

Vine Wine Bar's mission is to provide a beautiful parlor setting that encourages connection while learning about our common love for wine. With an unpretentious approach to wine tasting, we are perfect for beginners yet impressive to the experts. The Vine Wine Bar’s commitment is to entice people to connect with each other as much as they connect with our wines.

I had the pleasure of trying the brand new Vine Wine Bar in Palm Desert last week with my girlfriends Laura and Leslie. Located next to Ralph’s on Country Club and Cook, the location is a bit odd, but they’ve done an excellent job with the interior, making it very inviting. The night we went, it was one of our cold winter nights, and they had the fire pit on the front patio roaring. There was one couple out there. I figured they were some of my Canadian clients and it was a balmy night for them as us desert gals beat it inside to sit in the lounge type seating.

We enjoyed a red wine flight each, leaving it up to the bar manager to pick the selections based on what we told him we liked. He did not disappoint, and we discovered some new wines that we really liked.

For dinner, we shared a Panini with Mozzarella, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and artichoke hearts with balsamic dressing and glaze. The bread was delicious, and it was pure comfort food.

We also shared Warm Pretzels with cheese sauce and spicy mustard. We honestly could have devoured an order each, they were so good.

The final item was a Flat Bread Pizza with Arugula, Mozzarella, tomatoes, and a truffle oil drizzle.
